JAPAN SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SCIENCE VISIT TO KEELE

Share |

Posted on 12 March 2012

The Director, Professor Kozo Hiramatsu, and International Programme Coordinator, Polly Watson, and Yuta Matsuo and Ryoko Kaga, from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) visited Keele to hold a funding programme information event.  JSPS is the largest funding organisation in Japan to support basic scientific research, supporting researchers at all stages of their career, larger research projects and international seminars and conferences, in all fields of 'science', including the humanities and social sciences.

The event, hosted by Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Enterprise, Professor Mark Ormerod, covered current funding programmes and opportunities for research collaboration with Japan, and was aimed at colleagues interested in developing or enhancing research links with Japan and obtaining funding to develop existing collaborations and establish new ones.  It was very well attended by academic staff and research managers from all five Research Institutes. The event is one of a series of initiatives aimed at raising internal awareness of research funding opportunities and Keele's external profile with research funding bodies and external organisations.
